A Madison woman accused of killing someone she used to work with was in court on Wednesday.
Diamond Wallace, 31, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Christine Jones, 61, of Cottage Grove.
Jones was found dead Sunday morning in a parking ramp on West Washington Avenue. Madison police said Jones was on her way to work when she was shot.
Wallace was arrested outside of an apartment on Milwaukee Street on Monday. A gun was recovered from Wallace's apartment.
According to the criminal complaint, Wallace worked with Jones at a hotel in downtown Madison. Wallace was fired last April. Around that time it's believed Wallace slashed Jones' tires, the complaint states.
Wallace had previously accused Jones of being racist. She was upset that Jones supported President Donald Trump, according to the complaint.
The court commissioner set Wallace's bail at $2 million. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for April 1.

She killed her because she supported Trump.
Horrific.
RIP Christine Jones.
Praying for actual justice, for Wallace.
If her trial is in Madison, a lot of the potential jurors might be inclined to let her off since she was motivated by Trump-hatred.
You do know this story has been posted already, right?
A serious “Cat Fight”.
Have a cigar
A classic example of domestic terrorism... Life in prison at the least... But the death penalty would be preferable.
Nope. I did a search for the word, “Madison” and there were no hits for this story.
They were like sisters and it was such a personal betrayal!

These people are born defective between the ear, and defective in their heart.
If there’s a story like that you can pretty much count on somebody posting it here. More times the better really. Feeds the hate.
Sane ol’, same ol’… same as it ever was.
By their own logic and statements, we must now disarm all socialists/liberals/democrats. And women too.
White genocide continues and no one does anything about it.
Except for non-whites who continue to kill.
Wow. Can you imagine if everyone thought it was ok to murder those with whom they disagree? Of course, Trump is the devil, so that makes it different...🙄
Yep. The usual site I go to to check weather and sports runs the headlines along the side.
Every week the criminal activities in, ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan’ grow and grow.
So glad I hit the bricks and GTFO of there when I did! Even though I lived on a farm on the outskirts, the killers from Madistan and Rockford and Chicago thought nothing of dumping bodies in my rural neck of the woods. Ugh!
Glad you got the heck outta there, too.
